The Great Gray Owl is the largest owl in North America with a wingspan of almost 5 feet and head to tail length of two feet. It has an imposing look about it with an intimidating gaze. But, as large as it is, it can easily disappear into its surroundings, its natural camouflage blending into its surroundings. When we arrived back at the bog on Thursday afternoon, I didn’t see him right away because he perched in the crotch of a birch tree that matched the coloration and patterns of his feathers. He was, in fact, hiding in plain sight.
